Unionville Ice Hockey Club is excited to participate in 3 "PINK" fundraising games on Friday, December 18 at Iceline Quad Rinks in West Chester.

The Varsity (6:00pm), Girls (7:45pm) and JV (9:30pm) teams will play 3 league games to support Unite for Her (UFH), a non-profit organization that provides educational and restorative breast cancer programs for women and girls. Monies collected will benefit UFH.

Fundraising efforts will include:

· Player dry-fit tees for game day/pre-game warmups

· A bake sale on Thursday, December 17 during all three lunches at UHS

· UFH pink tee-shirts will be sold during the bake sale, at school the week of the games and at Iceline the night of the games for a PINK-OUT!

· "Chuck-a-Puck" contests during each of the three games. (Pucks will cost $2 each or 3 for $5. Toss your pucks onto the ice during the 2nd intermission. The person whose puck lands closest to center ice wins 50% of the raffle proceeds.)

· The ICHSL will donate $1 for every ticket sold on game night

· Individual contributions can be made the night of the game (checks payable to Unite for Her)

We are excited to announce that this year we are sponsoring a "Holiday Greens Fundraiser" to support the Unionville Ice Hockey Club. Our hope is to raise money to support ice time and league fees moving forward and also to ensure that any child within the Unionville Chadds Ford School District that desires to play the great game of hockey can afford to do so.

In order to do this we need your help! This year the club has decided to keep the fundraiser simple. All sales are processed online via our personalized and secure fundraiser website. There are a number of beautiful items to choose from including holiday wreaths, centerpieces, greens and other accessories. Shipping is

UCFSD Community Service gives away gently used warm coats, fleece jackets, hats, mittens/gloves and snow pants to local families in need. Donated items can be dropped off in the lobbies of any of the UCF district schools now until Thursday 12/17. Items should be clean and in good condition. All styles and sizes are needed. New items are also gladly accepted!

Free Prevention Training

FOCUS (Family Outreach Committee of the Unionville-Chadds Ford Schools) is part of the UCFEF and has been committed to provide awareness and educational opportunities for members of our district and community.

We would like to present a free opportunity offered online, until December 31, 2015, through a special grant given to the YMCA branch of Kennett Square. This prevention program teaches adults how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. This program is designed for individuals concerned about the safety of children as well as organizations that serve youth.

Want to make money for UHS while doing your regular shopping? Both Giant and Target are literally giving money away to those who register their Giant cards and Target cards and designate UHS as their beneficiary school. Please take a minute or two to link your cards with the Giant A+ School Rewards program and the Target Take Charge of Education program. It's so simple and will help support your UHS students! We realize there were some problems signing up for the Giant program during the past few weeks, but the site is back up and running.

Follow instructions for registering your card and enter the School ID: 23978 when prompted to designate UHS as your recipient school. FYI, you will need to have your Giant card number handy when registering.

If you are already registered, you do not need to re-register. The program for this school year begins Oct. 9 – just in time for all of your holiday shopping!

Target Take Charge of Education Program

Link Your Target REDcard to Unionville High School and Target will give UHS 1% of all of your purchases through May 14, 2016. This is the LAST year of the Target program, so let's take full advantage of it!

UHS should appear, and then you enter your first and last names and REDcard number and hit complete enrollment. It's that easy!
